Chapter 425
But if that person has the help of someone like Wang Yangming, then it will be a different matter.
Wang Yangming is from the old British duke, according to his dossier records and Xiao Qinglang's statement, he should be very trusted by Emperor Chengzong, Empress Gongshun and the old British duke. This kind of trust even went so far as to let him know the truth about the secret path and the queen Gongshun who gave birth to the crown prince back then......
Generally speaking, if he could really know this, he must have been the one who secretly passed the news between the Empress Gongshun and the British Princess. Therefore, it seems that it is not difficult for him to avoid the secret guards and guards set up by the emperors in the palace of the past dynasties.
Xiao Qinglang obviously thought of this, and his face became much more solemn. If this is the case, doesn't that mean that the garrison in the palace is nothing but a reality for the people behind Wang Yangming?
While Xiao Qinglang was pondering, Xu Chu had already put the skeleton back in place, and put the bright blue eunuch costume on the skeleton again. It wasn't until she was done that she asked the guards to rebuild the so-called Wang Yangming's grave.
They have come to examine it this day in secret. If one day, this case is really revealed in front of the emperor, then whether it is the British Duke Xiao Heng or Wang Yangming, they will inevitably have to open the coffin again for autopsy.
Of course, that's another story.
In the cloudy place on the edge of the imperial tomb, the cold wind was bleak, and after a long time, Wei Yan appeared and said, "Lord, the guards of the imperial tomb have come this way." ”
The implication is that you can't stay here for long, otherwise you won't be discovered.
Xiao Qinglang bowed his head, he glanced at Xu Chu, and asked, "Do you still want to check the side one?" ”
Xu Chu shook his head and put the mask and other items into the toolbox without any delay. Although she understood what Xiao Qinglang meant, compared to checking here if there were any traces of Xiao Zihang's long-lost visit, it should be more important to see the situation that Xiao Qinglang was about to face.
Now, no one has found that King Jing'an supports her in digging graves and investigating the case. But if this matter is really discovered, it will inevitably cause an uproar in the DPRK and China, and this will also become the biggest stain on Xiao Qinglang since he joined the Three Law Divisions.
At the very least, he despised the eunuchs. The most important thing is to disrespect the ancestors and the emperor.
Going deeper, if one day it is mentioned that the first emperor was injured in 36 years and was inhumane, everyone will naturally think of Xiao Qinglang's life experience. At that time, no one can guarantee whether there will be people in the court who are hostile to Xiao Qinglang who say that the reason why he dug up the grave may be to destroy the corpse......
Thinking of this, Xu Chu took a deep breath and said, "Let's go back first, it's too cold at night, go back early, and drink some ginger soup to ward off the cold early." As she spoke, she couldn't help but smile, "Besides, I eat less at night, and I'm a little hungry at this time." ”
As soon as she said this, the three guards who followed her couldn't help but think of the beginning. At that time, at the mass grave behind the Furong Inn between Yunzhou City and Jinzhou City, there were rotting corpses everywhere and the stench was stinking. At that time, they were very surprised to see such a delicate woman as Lord Xu turning over the rotten flesh and bones without changing her face.
But later, seeing her cook the autopsy was the real shock. That kind of horror is different from the horror of fighting on the battlefield or the horror of encountering a near-death crisis, it is really a strange feeling.
It was the first time they had seen Lord Xu's autopsy up close, and it was also the first time they had seen a pot of corpses with the smell of stinky meat gradually peeling off their flesh and bones. Now when they think of the pot full of bubbling boiling water, and the tumbling bones and pieces of flesh, they can't help but feel sick in their hearts.
But in that case, this Lord Xu, the quasi-princess of Jing'an Palace, rubbed her face palely, saying that she had not eaten at night and had a stomachache.
After that, the prince really sent someone to send her a bowl of noodles. Next...... In the minds of several people, there were inexplicably wriggling white maggots, as well as faintly stirred faces......
When they thought of this, the three guards' faces turned pale, and their lips pursed and pursed involuntarily.
When I returned to the city, it was close to dawn. Fortunately, the coachman held the warrant of King Jing'an, saying that he was ordered to secretly investigate the case, so he also entered Beijing through the city gate smoothly.
It can be seen that Xiao Qinglang sent people to investigate the case under the stars and nights, which is already commonplace, so that the guards at the city gate did not suspect it at all. even sighed a few words with the secret guard who pretended to be a coachman, which roughly means that the adults of the three law divisions really worked so hard to investigate the case when it was raining at night, and they were dressed so simply......
After returning, Xiao Qinglang first sent Xu Chu back to Xu's mansion, and when he got out of the car, he said: "Tomorrow I will help you want the emperor to take leave, and you can rest for a day, and by the way, straighten out what happened in these days." After the arrival of King Su and King Su, you and I will go to see the prince of Su from the Sun family, if there is no accident, it will be time to close the case. ”
In the bright and extinguishing light, Xu Chu looked at him for a long time before nodding slightly. As she got out of the car, she took a deep breath and leaned forward to kiss him on the mouth.
"Don't think about it, tell me whatever you have the news. I don't like it when you're alone with pressure that I don't know about. She said as if she were muttering, and then said as if sighing, "Xuanzhi...... I want to be with you, you have to be happy with me, you have to be painful with me......"
Xiao Qinglang was in a trance for a moment, and looked down at the worry in her eyes. In an instant, the heavy heart that was pressed at that moment seemed to have been redeemed, warmed up and then beat violently again.
He knew in his heart that his heart was beating for her.
In the quiet and small space, the warm breath was intertwined with each other, making Xiao Qinglang greedy and reluctant. However, he could only endure the restlessness and heat in his heart, as well as the sourness and sweetness, and pressed her hard against his chest.
At this time, neither of them said anything provocative, and even Xu Chu was no longer shy or showed a crimson and shy expression, but it made Xiao Qinglang feel happier and happier than before.
He has grown up to the present, and there has always been only the strictness of the first emperor in his life, as well as the respect for the present. Even Wei Yan, Wei Guang and others are more in awe and loyalty to themselves.
The world looks at him as if he would not be crushed by Yama, and they are both respectful and afraid. Or just envy his power and status, or talk about his ability and heart and then lament his lack of desire.
But no one has ever broken into his life like Xiao Chu, causing ripples in his heart that has been calm and waveless for more than 20 years. There has never been anyone like her for him, and even said that she would share with him the truths that are enough to shock the world.
In fact, as early as when Xiao Qinglang found out his heart for Xiao Chu, he told himself that he would love her so much, protect her, and understand her. And she doesn't need to care too much about herself, after all, it was she who was the first to move.
Along the way, although he has paid a lot in this relationship, Xiao Chu's contribution is only a lot more. It's just that the two of them are used to being introverted, even if they laugh at a few words, they rarely say their favorite words publicly.
But even if it's just that, who can deny that their long-lasting love is not deep?
Xiao Qinglang pursed his lips, restraining the sighs at the corners of his mouth and the love that was about to gush out. He could feel his heart aching and swollen with satisfaction and joy.
But he also knew that now was not the time, and he even regretted it for a moment, regretting that he had asked for marriage earlier.
In fact, he was not very worried about his life or the crisis he was about to face. The only thing he was worried about was that as his unfinished princess, if one day he was in trouble as the king of Jing'an, how would she deal with herself!
He was even more worried that if he lost power one day, who else would be able to protect a woman in the capital surrounded by wolves.
Thinking of this, Xiao Qinglang's hand couldn't help but tighten a little again, and his eyes full of emotion gradually calmed down and then darkened like an abyss.
Since revealing the truth is inevitable, he must find the most appropriate way, at least to ensure her safety.
Xiao Qinglang squinted, feeling the warmth in his chest, and suddenly thought that he was reluctant and would not leave her to others to take care of. Therefore, even if the final outcome is doomed, he has to give it a go......
His hand slid slightly, landed on her back and patted it with a soothing meaning, and then said in a hoarse and low voice: "Okay, I promise you, never again." ”
Since he wants to decide to share the ups and downs with her, hand in hand in life and death, what does he have to hide?
Xu Chu got the right words, his heart was relieved, he raised his eyebrows and looked at his smooth chin, and leaned over to kiss him. It wasn't until she saw that his earlobes were red like blood that she smiled and said, "The prince thinks that I need to practice my kissing skills more this time?" ”
Xiao Qinglang naturally heard the ridicule in her words, after all, when he had not yet entered Beijing, he had used this to ridicule his own Xiao Chu. Unexpectedly, this time she was generalized.
He held back a smile and sighed lightly, his voice was hoarse with unknown meaning, and he lowered his head and said, "Then you need to talk to Xiao Chu again to know." ”
After speaking, he bowed his head with a smile under Xu Chu's somewhat stunned gaze.
Outside the carriage, the autumn breeze was blowing, and the sky was already glowing with a faint white light. Without thinking about it, there is bound to be a good day on this day......
And in the carriage that was isolated from the cold wind and cold, between the misty and ambiguous, and between the intersecting necks, Xu Chu had already leaned on Xiao Qinglang's chest like a spring of autumn water. She gasped slightly, her heart fluctuated violently, and there was no longer the playful look on her face that she had looked at Xiao Qinglang before.
